Abstract
OBJECTIVE: the role of serum prothrombin induced by vitamin K absence or antagonist-II (PIVKA-II) in the early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection has not yet been clearly identified. the purpose of the study was to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of PIVKA-II, alone or in combination with alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), for the detection of HCC during surveillance, and to determine whether PIVKA-II was a significant risk factor for patient survival.

MATERIAL and METHODS: During surveillance, 106 HCC cases and 100 non-HCC cases of chronic HBV infection were included. Sensitivity and specificity of AFP and PIVKA-II were obtained through cut-off values of 20 ng/ml and 40 mAU/ml, respectively. the Cox proportional hazards model was used to determine whether PIVKA-II would be a significant risk factor for patient survival.

RESULTS: the sensitivity rates of AFP and PIVKA-II were 57.5% (61/106) and 51.9% (55/106), respectively. of 45 patients negative for AFP, 22 were positive for PIVKA-II. A combination of AFP and PIVKA-II increased the sensitivity to 78.3% (83/106). the specificities of AFP and PIVKA-II were 88.0% and 97.0%, respectively. PIVKA-II was not a significant risk factor for patient survival after multivariate analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: PIVKA-II can be used as a tumor marker for the early detection of HCC in patients with chronic HBV infection, especially in combination with AFP.
